Forge fmic silicone hose replacement

[Kyle_vrs]

Been looking over my octy I bought and I've noticed this pipe is a standard pipe that's been joined to the forge hose. Seen in other pics other people have a forge pipe there. Anyway the standard pipe is twisted and flattened so obviously not doing it any favours. Tried to twist it and play around but no luck. Can I buy a replacement hose or is it a full hose kit? I've seen this one but I think it's for the smic so don't want to pay all that to chop it up and join it although it will be the right shape so might have to. Only other option is to try and make one using the hose and some old metal piping I've got from a universal fmic kit but I'd rather do it properly and just buy the top hose. Any other companies that do a top pipe to fit the forge intercooler?? Searched but no luck :(

Im confused, do you have the smic or a front mount?

It is a replacement to the OEM std hose buddy. But that is what you want. The forge fmic kit does not replace that hose, the forge comes with a joiner to connect to it. As it is a std replacement silicon hose to the OEM one you can get any make like SPS, samco, forge, creation Motorsport etc.

Here's mine which is connected toy forge joiner.

Ah I see I thought I was missing a hose!! Do I just need a 45* silicone hose to go from the throttle body to the forge hose or is there a specific S shape one like the original?

Personally I would get the right hose for the job as you need to ensure the size and bends are all good

Found one on creation Motorsport for £40 so just ordered it. Thank you muchly will take the bumper off and make sure I'm happy with all the other pipes when I fit this

Yes please particularly the throttle body pipe where it joins if poss. This is the standard one on mine that's collapsed I'm hoping that will sort out why it feels abit slow boosting and not boosting as hard as it should. So the new pipe should fit and join the forge piping without much altering then?

Direct replacement mate, will fit the same, i think if you remove washer bottle and the black thing next to it (cant remener what its called lol) you should be able to access the lower join easier.

Here is my throttle hose connected to the forge joiner

And you can see the way it joins

Replacing for a silicon hose will help you with boost as the old hoses do tend to collapse.

That's spot on thanks it's exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully my hose will be here on Wednesday so I can get it fitted. Going to check the dump valve and see if that needs servicing at the same time, am I right in thinking I need a yellow spring if I service it?

Far easier to just take the headlight out, much less messing about and you can see exactly what your doing, and hold the jubilee clip in the right place, get socket / screwdriver where you need it etc etc.

I dont why but the i tructions did say to take it out ut did t feel tbe need to, had plenty of space as washer bittle was alreqdy out

[Kyle_vrs]

I'm taking the bumper off anyway to check the rest of the pipes as some of them are hard up against the body so I need to put something like foam in between them so I should have enough room to do it. Just want to see if it restores the performance!!

[Bowders1]

Yeah don't need to take washer bottle out plenty of space with headlight out.
